Gems are a currency in Idle Mine: Remix. To earn gems you mine ores (It doesn't matter which type of ore you mine). The default chance of getting a gem from an ore is 2% . Upgrades can improve the chance up to 100%. You can use gems for gem upgrades and new pickaxes. The best way to get gems is by mining ores that can be one-hit with your current pickaxe and stats.
